Fuel of the Mennonites.

After supper 1 went out to see the
method of preparing fuel for the winter
use. In the first place a large spot is
cleared of grass and rubbish, and upon
this is carried hay and refuse from che
sheep pens. This is spread evenly over
the cleared spot to the depth of a
foot. Then large roller is run over it
after rain. thus forming solid mass,
which is cut into square blocks of suit
able size for burning and corded up in
small piles to dry, after which it is put
up in long ricks ready for winter use.
In the winter the horrible stencil Of
the burning compost is avoided by an

Ind Peggy carried the hoe back again
with sigh of relief.
Little the Seeding peoples and mari.
colds and petunias knew about their
fate. when they came crowding up to-
gether through the rich, hard soil Of the
footpath that late spring; but this is
what happened to them. Who ever
thought of saving such lives but quaint
little Peggy McAllister? But she dreamed
that night about carrying flower-pot
full of small green plants to everybody in
the sunny hospital wards, to stand
on the tables beside the bed or in the
windows, so that all the sick people
could watch them grow. She did not
know how she could really carry SO
many; but she was sure Miss Dunning
would let her, when she walked up in the
morning and thought about the dream.
1t took good deal of courage to ask
Miss Dunning at breakfast time, and
the kind little dressmaker laughed until
Peggy felt that she must have been very
foolish
Its reasonable dream enough, GER
tain; but, there! l don't know how I'm
ever going to let you go back again,
you dear little thing!" she said to Peggy.
Il believe shall keep you all the time,
if you like well enough to stay?" and
Peggy's wondering face grew rosy for a
minute; then she dropped her head and
felt as if she were going to cry.
"Oh! please do keep mel" she said, and
that was all-dear, anxious, homeless
Peggy; and yet she gave a thought
at that very moment to Sister Helen,
whom she might never see again. But
Miss Dunning, too, was very good to
her.
A few weeks later whole company
of flower pots that Miss Dunning gath
cred from her own stores and one or
two neighbors', was sent to the hos
pital in Blank street from Peggy. She
had rooted the rescued Seeding
anew, and tended them patiently until
they were growing again. Perhaps some
day we will follow their fortunes and
see who they bloomed for, and whether
they bloomed well. But the happiest
day of all was when long letter came
to Peggy from Sister Helen, with many
messages in it from the sick people
whom she had lovingly remembered in
her new country home.

The Record of a Pigeon,

Eight hundred and sixty-six miles in
four and one-fourth days is the record Of
a Newark pigeon, 1t was liberated at
Montgomery, Ala. This time, it is
claimed, is the fastest ever made in the
world by pigeon for 800 miles or over,
the best previous record being nine to
ten days, also in this country. This bird
was Matched April 9Th, 1884, from some
German military sock. Before it was
six months old it flew in different races
under club rules, the great distance of
1859 miles, the last race being from
Morgantown, N. c., 535 miles air line,
this being the farthest distance young
birds were ever shipped. During the
season of 1885 it was left at home to do
as it pleased. This season the bird was
put on the road again. 1t was flown
from Altoona, Pa, for the Verinder
prize. 1t was liberated in rainy weather
and did not return fast enough to win.
1t was again tried in the west, this time
from Steubenville, Ohio, 1888 miles. The
bird did not come home in good speed,
but in its race from the south it has no.
bly, redeemed itself.-Chicago Herald.

New IIsa for Scran Tin.

1t is only within few years that any
use was found for old scrap tin. All eff
forts to reclaim the tin by smelling were
failures. AT last some one happened to
think that to place it around the outside
of the foundation walls of buildings, and
20 use it beneath the flooring of cellars,
would be to render new buildings YER
min proof. The plan was tried and was
big success. You can imagine how
tired rat would get trying to burrow
through lot of sharp and jagged tin.

The Young English Lord.

AT coming of age of the heir there is
a great celebration. This is of course
far more of an event than a meet of the
hounds, for it occurs only once in quar-
ter of a century. 1t is feast for tenants
and family relatives, intimate friends,
AMI laborers on the estate. The house is
crowded with guests, and the neighbors
of rank often open their establishments
and assist in the hospitality. There are
booths and marques upon the lawn, an
OK is roasted whole, beer and wine are
abundant, and the best of hunor pre-
walls. All class IS mingle freely, and the
upper tenants are invited to the dining
room. A speech is made by the heir,
often on the steps in front of the house,
so that more may Sc. and hear than can
be crowded under roof or canvas. The
father and mother and other relatives
stand near, the flag flies over him, the
tenantry and retainers cheer, the brothers
and sisters are proud, or envious, who
can say which? and the young lord feels
all his grandeur and Importance, perhaps
more keenly than ever again.
There is drive over the estate, which
is everywhere decorated with indications
of loyal regard; presents are made to the
poor and their children; the parish
church bells ring and sometimes even
poachers are forgiven or released. At
night the great house and the village are
illuminated. Everything is done to fos-
ter the feudal feeling that still fingers,
and the paternal system and influence of
the aristocracy are as conspicuous as on
any occasion yet left in England.

Touched with the mystic chrism Of I'M

Girt round with hope as with the light
Of day,
May he go forth to walk his future way
Across the ripening gold of fruitful lands,
Unto the shore of perfect silver sands,
Where Time shall falter, crumble, and
decay
And all the air shall trembls with the
spray
OF waves eternal breaking on the strands.
There may he lay his burden down and
rest;
There may his Winter dawn again to

And while the sun goes down the crimson

And day shall glide away on wistful

Eternal love float DER the purple breast
OF that eternal sea, and crown him

Return of the Hon. S. G. Wilder.

Hon. s. g. Wilder returned home by the
Australia on Tuesday last from an extended
trip to the United States, Great Britain and
Europe, in the best of health and spirits,
which augured we'll for the success of his
mission, In connection with the Hllo and
Hamakua Railroad. Mr.. Wilder seems to
have had no difficulty in securing all the
assistance necessary to carry out the project
to a successful termination. 1t is under
stood that the survey will be commenced i'm
mediately-the engineers going up by the
kinau to-day-and the grading and track
laying will follow as soon as possible. Ma
terials for the construction of the road have
been ordered, and will be on the ground in
ample time for use. The road will extend
from Hilo to Waipio gulch-a distance of 20
miles-and will open up some of the finest
cane land on the Islands, which has hitherto
been inaccessible owing to the want of ship
ping facilities. Every one on the Islands is
conversant with the Hamakua Coast, and
what trouble and risk is incurred in shipping
freight at the very few landings, and that
the roads are utterly useless as means of
transportation-all will hail with delight the
new railroad and the advantages it will open
up and will bless the gentleman who con-
ceiyed the idea. and did not hesitate to put
his shoulder to the wheel to put the project
into successful shape. While the Hawaiian
Government is busily engaged in fitting out
a man-of-war, which will be a curse rather
than benefit to the country, it remains to a
private citizen and private enterprise to de-
velOp the resources of the country, and make
a large area of 1t accessible and profitable
for cultivation. How much better it would
look abroad If the Hawaiian Government
had taken hand in this national enterprise,
and turned the amount squandered on
foreign missions, the buying apl fitting out
of the Kaimiloa, and the $4,000 al r=0pri-
ated for the Board of Genealogy, into this
enterprise, which is sure TO pay from ghe day
it is finished? But no; it is all right to

ments let him get them himself, or do with

Mission Work in Micronesia.

The Morning Star brings no news of
special interest from the Gilbert Islands.
The Hawaiian missionaries are there less in
number than they were year ago. Rev. w.
B. Kapu, of Tapitenea, and Rev. j. w.
Kanoa, Butaitari, have given up their con-
nection with the Hawaiian Board, but con-
tinue to reside in those Islands. Rev. G.
Hauia, who left Tararoa, July 2Sth. for Ma
raki, in boat with his son and three Gilbert
Islanders, has probably been lost at sea.
His widow and family have returned to
Honolulu. Some of the remaining mission
aries are doing good work some are blamed
for giving too much time gathering cobra for
the traders.
The new girls school on Kusaie has been
established but one of the teachers, Miss
Heminway, has been obhse5-to return to
the States, on account of failure of health
DR.. Pease has resumed his Marshall
Islands training school on Kusaie, and Rev.
A. g. Walkup continues his school for Gil
bert Islanders at the same station. The
girls school on Ponape is managed by Miss
Fletcher and Miss Palmer, both of whom are
In poor health however. Rev. T. L. Rand
Is at work in his school, with about the same
success as before. Rev. L. L. Doane has
been at work visiting the different sections
of the island, and preaching to the people.
He reports a revival of religious interest /;
from sixty to one hundred attend evening
meetings, night after night. Four out of the
five chiefs attend religious services, and are
trying to influence their people also in right
ways. Stringent prohibitory laws in regard
to intoxicating liquor aae enforced, and Mr..
Doane rejoices in a better state of things,
morally and religiously, than he has seen for
years.
Most interesting accounts come from Rev.
L. w. Logan, about his work in the Mort
locks and Ruk. New stations have been
opened, and at every communion season
from six to twelve are admitted to church
membership. Education is eagerly sought,
and the people are learning to read. They
buy their own books with the sVails of the
cobra and arrow-root, purchased by the
traders. The resident trader, Captain
Narrhum, has been very helpful to Mr..
Logan in many ways. The little vessel, the
Kapiolani has been chartered twice by Mr..
Logan to visit the Mortlocks.
The German man-of-wsr Albatross, in the
latter part of June, came to Ruk aDd took
away the documents under which possession
had been taken of the Islands. The Spanish
naval vessel Manila came about the middle
of July. Mr.. Logan went with tho com
mander IN his steam launch about the la
COON, and assisted in the arrangements by
which the chiefs and people acknowledged
allegiance to Spain.
A trader from Tasmania. by the name of
Mcintyre, was sick for several months, and
finally died of consumption. He was kindly

Missionary Jubilee.

The fftieth anniversary of the arrival of
the second band of missionaries on these
islands was celebrated on Saturday, Sunday
and Monday, April 9th, 10th and 18th. The
exercises commenced by u meeting of the
Hawaiian Mission Children's Society at Ka-
waiahao Seminary. -Four of the original band
were present, Hon. S: n, Castle, Mrs. A. S.
Cooke, and Mr.. and Mrs. E. Bailey. Presi-
dent Merritt of Oahu College presided. The
exercises commenced with prayer and then
followed readings from the Male Wreath,
letters from friends abroad, a paper by Mr..
Olesen and musical programme to which
the new piano, presented to the Seminary by
Messrs. Castle q Cooke, added charm
under the skillful manipulation of Mrs.
landlord. Resolutions were adopted TO send
Mr.. Olesen's paper to the Hawaiian Board
of Missions. A large audience assembled
and were kept interested till ten o'clock.
The services at Fort Street Church on Sun
day evening had special bearing upon the
Jubilee Celebration.
On Monday, at 3 p. ~, large assembly
met at Punahou. Lack of space prevents an
extended notice of this most interesting

Tom, native of Hulls Islands. forty
miles north of Ruk, who had been taken
from his home when a boy, and somehow

Sturges, and shipped as a s-I0r on the
Morning Star. Walking about lux, he III
expectedly met his mother ana brothe-, and
went of with them to his early home. But
there he has set out on a war of conqLe5t
and gained possession of TWO of the islands,
killing twenty or more of the natives who
opposed his plans.
Canoes have come from Palosuk, an island
140 miles to the westward, asking for teach
ers for their pupils.
September 24th, MIR. Logan had begun q
general meeting of the natives from the
schools, under the four Ponape teachers, and
thousand people had gathered to feast,
only the day before the Morning Star ar
rived with some of the American mission
aries from Kusaia and Ponape to initiate an
annual meeting of the llicronesian mission
aries.
MI. Logan mas Oeen DuSy preparing new
literature for the people. A geography, an
arithmetic, and translation into Mortlock
of the Book of Genesis, have been sent up
for publication.
Influenza and dysentery have occasioned
much sickness and many deaths. The crop
of bread-fruit was poor, and Mr.. Logan had
some difficulty in providing food for the
forty people now living under his care. His
own strength finally giving way, he had to
give up work entirely in December. He had
just rallied from this prostration When the
Star came the second time, and took him to
the Mortlocks to look after the work there.
He had succeeded IN persuading the natives
to cut their hair, and so rid themselves of
the vermin that made them uncomfortable
and diagreeable. They had also abandoned
the habit of smearing themselves with red
earth. The traders objected to this, how
ever, as it was an important article OF traffic
with them, and was useful to the natives in
keeping off mosquitoes. Neither did the
traders like the disuse of tobacco, though
they had to acknowledge that it was for
hidden in the schools of Germany. Mr..
Logan was left on the Mortlocks, expecting
to return to Ruk on the Kapiolani.
A concert at Kaumakipili church, last
evening, under the patronage of their Males
ties, proved great success.
